Chapter 9 Destiny

There are many mountains in the Southern Wilderness, and the height of the mountains is usually ten thousand meters. It is difficult for magpies to fly, so it is called Magpie Mountain.

The Huai River cuts through the main vein of Qianli Que Mountain, traverses the Southern Wilderness, and enters the relatively flat Huaizhong Basin, creating a huge hilly plain.

When the rainy season comes, the Huai River floods, and most of the entire Huai Central is submerged in the water, and people and animals become fish and turtles. Therefore, even though the water and soil in the Huai Central are very easy for rice to grow, it is difficult to leave much food every year.

Therefore, every rainy season, Nanhuang must not only guard against the harassment of the monster race, but also work together to prevent and control floods, so as to avoid the worry of hunger.

Peacock inspected all of Ah Hui's fiefs today, and found that three smaller villages had been submerged, and a town that was a day older was also in jeopardy.

He thought for a while, and instead of going back directly, he turned around and flew high to the southwest.

At first it was just a wing, and gradually, three pairs of huge wind wings emerged from behind the wings, and the speed increased tenfold from the previous one.

Along the way, they crossed countless alpine glaciers and came to the end of the entire Divine Continent.

This is a huge mountain range rising from the sea. It is also the highest point in Shenzhou. The glaciers do not melt all year round. It is called Tianyu Mountain. .

For the human race, this is a wild and dangerous place, but for the monster race, it is a safe place to live.

The peacock landed in a high mountain gorge. This place is called Yishan. Although it is one of the main peaks of Tianyu Mountains, it belongs to the periphery. Evergreen in all seasons, full of flowers and trees, it is like a fairyland.

In the valley, a tree is independent, connecting the sky and the earth, and the flowers are like fire, as if it is going to burn the whole world.

In the past, the phoenix was destroyed by Dayu, and the seal of Nanming Lihuo was dug out. Although the demon clan tried their best to get back the remains, the demon souls scattered, and no matter how hard it was to nirvana, they reluctantly burned it with paulownia wood, and only a towering giant tree was born to protect the demons. For Fengzhi.

Quietly falling on the phoenix branch, the long-tailed phoenix crown, five-color dots, the feathers are jagged, the scales are intertwined, the weeds are colorful, and under the sunset, it is like a layer of golden feathers, which is unbelievably gorgeous.

But the big and small monsters around didn't care, and they all greeted each other on and off the tree.

"The big peacock is back?" Bi Fang jumped over to watch. It has one-legged blue feathers dotted with red spots, and a sharp white beak, like a red-crowned crane standing on a tree. "I heard that the king washes dishes in the human race. Did you enjoy washing?"

"I heard that the king chased a beautiful woman in the human race, can you bring it back?" A horned owl (big owl) turned its head and yawned, "We all know the reason why the king has been single for thousands of years, and we don't know why. Know which beauty is so unlucky to fall into your hands."

"That's right, I heard that the king is doing well in the human race. He washes dishes and sews clothes, and warms the bed at night, so he almost lays eggs." A long snake with four wings laughed. .

"It's not impossible to lay eggs," the golden-winged roc on the side looked up and down at his brother with a playful look, "Bring a phoenix branch to get a little sex, let alone a pair, even A single person and a monster can also lay eggs, isn't that how Father Feng gave birth to us back then?"

The peacock glanced lazily at the group of demons: "Have you had enough trouble?"

He looked contemptuously with disdain, and elegantly combed the tips of his wings, but it was just a light look, but it carried a huge and terrifying murderous aura.

It was a feeling of heaviness that almost caused the sky to be lowered, as if a towering dragon stretched its head out of the clouds and roared.

The teasing of the demons stagnated almost instantly.

That is the terrifying coercion naturally brought by the peerless monster, with an extremely strong spiritual imprint, a slightly weaker creature will even leave a huge shadow in the spirit, when you see it, you can only tremble, and even your breathing will change. become a burden.

Dapeng Niao narrowed his eyes slightly: "Your strength has recovered, why don't you come back? Is the world so fun?"

Or, do you really like that human being?

"The chaos in the Southern Wilderness is imminent, so I can't leave easily." The peacock stretched its gorgeous wings and said softly, "The tiger is about to die, and he wants to pass on to the eldest son. He secretly told his generals to lead them back to Nandu to prevent other sons from usurping the throne. I have checked After the time when they gather, it will be the day of the autumn festival."

All the big monsters around came here solemnly, and Dapeng asked in a deep voice: "Do you want to catch all the leaders of the Southern Wilderness on the day of the autumn festival?"

"Of course not," Peacock straightened his wings before raising his head and said, "It's not what it used to be. If you really want to catch them all in one go, why wait until now? You know, although the monster clan is powerful, with you, there are still dozens of big monsters in the sky. , not less than that of the human race. But those of us have practiced for thousands of years, and if one dies, one will be lost, so we cannot use it easily."

"The consequence of being too confident is that you almost died in Gen Palace," said a blue-feathered red-tailed Miemeng bird, "What's the difference between unusable subordinates and none?"

"I'm not dead yet." Peacock snorted, "If you don't provoke the enemy to show your weakness, how can you attract civil strife in the human race? You must know that once there are foreign enemies, no matter how deep their hatred is, they will unanimously turn outward, but we just don't Not threatening enough, didn’t they kill each other soon?”

"Then what do you want?" Dapeng Niao asked. When Peacock was not around, he was the leader of all monsters. Although his strength was not bad, he was far worse than Peacock's viciousness.

"Miemengniao, your residence is the closest to Nanhuang, so you will always monitor the movements of the human generals. You don't need to be too deliberate, just create that you are going to eat people soon." Peacock looked indifferently, "If there is an emergency at the border, those generals will return Going back is enough to let smart people know about the tiger's plan to call the generals back to the capital. At that time, those who can't get the throne will naturally become anxious and nervous, and become chaotic."

"Can't you directly disclose it to the human race? Do you have to go around such a big circle?" Mie Mengniao asked puzzled.

"That can't be done. Ji Hui is such a smart person. Once he knows that I have done this, he will be in big trouble." Peacock immediately objected, and then felt that this reaction was a bit extreme, so he explained, "Excuse me. A bird that has been single for thousands of years, at least let my happy time last longer."

"Aren't you only three years old? Ji Hui can testify for you." A sparrow knocked him down.

In the next second, it was trampled on the wind branch by a paw, and the peacock crushed it with its paw, jumped to the side, and rubbed its paw on the branch.

"I really don't understand the dignity at all." Peacock said softly.

"You came back for more than that, otherwise you can pass the news with only the sparrow. You don't need to go there yourself." Dapeng grabbed the sparrow from the branch, put it aside, and asked.

"Drain some of the melting water from Mount Tianyu from Mount Yi." Peacock said casually.

In an instant, countless dignified eyes fell on him.

"At the beginning, you asked us to block the waterway from Tianyu Mountain to the South China Sea, so that Tianyu's melting snow could only flow to the Southern Wilderness." Bi Fangniao chuckled, "Now, what's the situation?"

"If there is too little food, they may ask Zhongzhou for help, or they may group together to plunder in other directions, which will always cause changes in the civil strife in the Southern Wilderness. Besides, changing rivers and changing roads is difficult for the human race, but it is easy for us." Peacock said lightly.

But this is the case. The human race used soil to block water everywhere, which made the river flood even more. Later, they had to dig mountains and rocks, dig rivers and divert canals, and toss in every possible way. The monster race is born to control animals, whether it is rats or pangolins, crabs and lobsters. Earth dragons and rabbits are all good at opening mountains, and it is really a matter of minutes to open a river to divert water.

But well...

The four-winged Snake hissed, and said in a drawn-out voice, "Why do I feel that this reason is not very tenable?"

The peacock gracefully raised a paw: "Do you want to do it?"

So all the monsters fell silent.

"I've sold myself and my heart for you, but you're good enough to pick and choose." Peacock looked cold, "I'll get things done before tomorrow, otherwise, don't blame me for eating one of you."

So the eyes of the demons turned and fell on a big white mouse with extremely smooth fur.

"Look at me, isn't it just digging holes?" The white mouse raised its eyelids, "Is there anything else?"

"Send birds and beasts to keep an eye on the people around the Great Priest of the Southern Wilderness, don't go directly to guard the Great Priest." Peacock pondered, "The old man can feel my peeping, it must not be as simple as an ordinary priest. In addition, go check one Human tribe."

"Which one?" Dapeng asked.

"That tribe migrated from the Xia Kingdom of Zhongzhou 20 years ago, and now they live in a valley six hundred miles southeast of Huadeng Mountain, where Nandu is located," Peacock pointed out the route, "That's Ji Hui's mother clan, and his mother was As a commoner, he entered the Nanhuang harem, but I think it must be more than that. That old idiot of the tiger would not want a son as good as Ah Hui, there must be other reasons, find out, and notify me immediately."

"20 years ago... I will ask the monsters in the nearby plants and trees, and I will give you news when the time comes." A yellow warbler said.

"That's all for that. I will come to you again when I need it." The peacock glanced around at the demons, nodded with satisfaction, and then transformed into a tiny hummingbird, and began to suck honey from the countless flowers on Fengzhi.The phoenix tree is full of phoenix flowers all year round, full of aura and sweet nectar, A Hui likes it the most.

Thinking that what Ah Hui drank was the honey he sucked out in mouthfuls, Peacock sucked harder.

All the monsters felt that it was too horrible to look at, and they all acted like birds and beasts to scatter.

Only the white mouse was a little worried, and asked the Dapeng beside him: "Is it really all right? I feel that the big peacock is serious this time."

"So what?" Dapeng said indifferently, "It's just one more person, to experience his ferocity and viciousness, don't be fooled by his appearance."

-

The peacock sucked enough nectar, and immediately flew back to the Southern Wilderness. On the way, he found a cave to bury his gorgeous plumage, so as not to be confiscated again. Then he packed his things and returned to Nea Mountain City.

Ah Hui is not here, he has been busy preparing for the autumn festival recently, and has been entangled in various chores.

The eldest prince Ji Zhen came here twice and brought some fruits and vegetables. He often came to deliver, and he was the best among all the princes to Ah Hui.

Tiger sent people to urge him several times, asking Ah Hui why he still didn't leave.

Peacock blocked it with the reason that Ah Hui was not there, and he was not worried that these people would go to the temple to find Ah Hui. It was the site of the great priest, and people who had nothing to do could not even enter the door.

But at night, Ah Hui hadn't come back yet.

This is strange, if Ah Hui won't come, she will ask someone to tell her.

Peacock really wanted to go and look for it, but he knew that the strength he exposed was no more than Jiuchongtian. If he really encountered a strong enemy, he would cause trouble for Ah Hui instead. Ah Hui's only weakness.

What methods will the enemy use against himself?

Peacock waited patiently, and then smelled a very faint, almost imperceptible astringency.

His expression was startled, and he immediately cast a spell to block the flow of wind with a barrier, and his expression instantly became dignified.

Others may not be able to know this taste, but he is too familiar with it—it is peacock gall.

Who wants to kill himself?

Logically speaking, they should be caught to threaten Ah Hui. Killing himself and the two children will only make Ah Hui no more loopholes, which is completely unnecessary.

If it wasn't for me being a peacock and being extremely sensitive, I just need to listen to it a few more breaths, and as a demon spirit of the Nine Heavens, I would die immediately.

Do you use peacock gall in front of the peacock king...

Peacock couldn't help but smile.

He blocked the breath of the two children, made his breathing and heartbeat weak, and finally fell to the ground as if dead, gradually showing his prototype.

After a while, someone finally came to him.

The footsteps are soft and agile, like a woman.

The woman seemed not at ease, she shot an arrow and nailed the fallen bird to the ground, seeing that its blood didn't flow out, she finally believed that the bird was dead.

Only then did he exit the house.

At this moment, the peacock flicked its wings suddenly, and countless black feathers shot out like sharp arrows.

The woman was startled, she retreated violently, flicked out a long whip, dinged dozens of times, sparks splashed, and the dozens of feathers were driven into the wall and nailed, and almost at the same time, the peacock His entire body had already rushed in front of him, and his sharp beak was at high speed, a weapon more terrifying than any sharp sword.

The woman suddenly fell back, avoiding the blow from the sharp beak, raised her leg and kicked, and there was a sound of wind breaking, but the peacock deftly avoided it, but saw the woman swiped with her right hand, pinched out a spell, and exploded in the air .

Countless smoke filled the air, and the woman disappeared in an instant.

Only then did the peacock pull out the arrow, and lazily curled up on the couch to sleep.

He already remembered the smell of that woman, as long as she was in the Southern Wilderness, he would be able to find her sooner or later.

However, that woman has clearly broken through the sky, why didn't she continue to kill him?Are you trying to hide something?

Don't think about it, anyway, Ah Hui should feel something is wrong and come back soon.

At that time, I must show him the wound, let him know how much I have paid for him, he will definitely feel guilty, and then let me do this to him on the bed...

The peacock drooled and continued to sleep happily.

Sure enough, in less than a moment, a gust of wind blew past, and Ah Hui almost rushed in, holding him in his arms with one hand, and when he saw the wound on his body, the murderous aura on his body almost flowed to the ground.

He didn't ask who it was, but gently bandaged the peacock's wound, carefully placed it on the case, and then picked up the long arrow on the ground.

"Ah Hui..." Peacock said weakly, "This is just a little demon. We monsters recover very quickly, but I let her run away."

"It's not your fault. Someone deliberately led me away today." Ji Hui said with a cold face, rubbing the ebony arrow branch. The tip of the arrow exploded like a flower, with countless barbs, extremely sinister, and peacocks on it The flesh and blood that came out when the arrow was pulled out was extremely dazzling.

Flesh and blood... He tried his best to fatten up that silly bird, but was taken away by the black arrow.

No matter who it is, he will not let it go.

Making up his mind, he walked out of the room holding an arrow branch. Just as Peacock was about to say that he was fine, he saw Ah Hui standing outside the door under the moon, holding an arrow branch in his hand, bowing to the moon.

The next moment, a stream of blood gushed out of his palm, soaking the entire long arrow and floating in the air.

He pointed to his chest, with a solemn expression, and softly chanted: "When the sky is dangerous, it becomes wind and thunder, the four seasons are endless, the six qi rest, the Tao turns six discs, the fire is in the sky, the nine gods sacrifice together, the Tao is round, the sky The sacrifice, mantra: Those who have a master enter the tomb forever, and the sky will never stop!"

The peacock trembled, how long has it been since Ah Hui cast such a spell, but...

"Entering the tomb and seeing it forever, what do you mean?" Peacock felt that human writing was so profound, and although he couldn't understand it, he felt amazing.

"The Lianshan Heavenly Curse means that if the victim of the curse does not die, as long as he is under the sky, he will be entangled by the spell and will never die." Ji Hui came over and asked him cautiously, "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, but why don't you just say it directly, you must use this kind of incomprehensible words." Peacock couldn't understand.

"The size of tortoise shells is limited, and the number is rare. If you don't write concisely, how can you write so many spells." Ji Hui patted his head and said.

"I see, Ah Hui, you have to be careful, that woman is very powerful."

"Tu Qin..." Ji Hui whispered his name.

"What?" Peacock asked.

"Don't get hurt again." Ji Hui got on the couch, lay beside him, and kissed him lightly on the forehead.
